I don't know why Australia isn't pushing this, we've got a huge sugar cane industry that is collapsing because it's not subsidised,
but I think people are worried that ethanol will harm their engines..

Brazil leading world in effort to boost use of ethanol as renewable fuel.

After decades of government intervention, the ethanol industry in Brazil is a thriving free market.

While Mr. Bush set 2025 as the target date for replacing three-fourths of the oil imported from
the Middle East with American ethanol, Brazil already satisfies nearly half of its domestic passenger
vehicle fuel demand with ethanol.
